People of the Clock
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2011
Time will tick
but it ticks so slowly
Time is sick
Tick, tock, go please
Ticking, tocking
Slowly shocking
People of a Tick Tock, Town

People of the clock
Sing so loud
They sing tick tock
Tick tock, tick tock.

As people cry
they sing "Tick Tock"
With graveyards die,
They sing "Tick Tock"
As people scream
The people of the clock
They sing and they sing
and they go "Tick Tock"

The Love I Gave
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2011
You are my worker I am your queen
You are the dirt I am your clean
You are the grease and I'm shampoo
You're every reason I shouldn't miss you
You're every bad turn I made
You're all the love I gave...

But even knowing that causes me pain...
I wouldn't give it back for anything.

Little to nothing
Is what right now I believe
Few to no one
Is who I get to see

Often to always
Is how I feel about occurrence of pain
It rips me apart
and makes me vain

You are the shy and I am the scream
I am the balance and you are the beam
You are the blood throughout my veins
and you are also all the love I gave

Just A Teen
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2011
She was depressed
and cut herself
Got drunk, and tipsy
then cried cause
it's the routine
Being just a teen

She watched her moms boyfriend
yell in her face,
Threw stuff on in the house,
then he'd call her names.

He smashed the window
2doors and the flat screen TV.
Laptop across the hall,
Threw dishes and even cans of beer

Her brother was moved
to a separate home
She misses him and cries
for him here in return

and when her momma's asleep
She sneaked a drink
'cause that's what eased her pain

She stared at the knives
Tried not to abide
But she loved blood trickling...

Now she's not depressed
Has scars on her wrist
and now she's scared to drink
'cause of her old routine
when she was just a teen.

Did You
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2011
Did you know that
I can't keep a guy
more then three days?
It's 'cause it hurts to bad
when I think of your face

Did you know that
the first time I
held someone's hand
that wasn't yours
I cried so hard
and prayed for it to be you
and him to disappear

Did you hear that
the first time I kissed
someone that wasn't you
I tasted your lips
Mint and cinnamon

I dump guys flat on
'cause I can't take the pain
I could only feel the vain
Did you know that?

Did you catch that
I think about you
almost everyday?

Did you know that
my teddybear still has your nickname
and that hoodie of yours
is still in my room
I look at it and cry
'cause I think of you..

Did you know that?
I et you had no clue.

Only One
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2011
They all think they know me
but really they don't
They don't now
and always won't

You're the only one
who knows the tears
behind my smile

You're the only one
who knows the pain
behind my strength

Most of all
You're the only one
who doesn't know
I wish I never met you
That way I never loved you
'cause I still do

Words you spoke to me
brings tears down my cheeks
Every night that I think of you...
I cry.

You're still the only one  I love tonight.

This I know
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2011
My mind can't stand your face
My soul is screaming
because of you
in this case.

Turn around and see
you've hurt me
You bent my skin and
Burned my paper heart
right into ashes,
they lie in the dark.

As I sit here and wait
for you to see the
world my way.
I'll be waiting for a long time
and may I say..?

You've been broken
This I know
But on that,
you're not alone.
This, I know.

iLoveEverythingAboutYou
Amber Ily Lee Jan 2011
I see your perfection
Your sparkle glow
But I see your flaws
I know you know
I get so angry
Dark inside
It's like I'll barley survive.

One things for sure I love you dear
And I want to hear you sincere
Please me your apology
Speak your mind
even though I'd get mad.
I'm also sorry when I make you sad.

Tell me what you feel
I want to know
But I'll never let go.
Babes, you're mine
That will never change
Even though sometimes
My tears fall like rain...

I'm Done
Amber Ily Lee Sep 2010
Why do you always blame me
For all the ***** ups!?
Is it cause I'm the youngest?
Right now I've had enough
You need to learn to take
Responsibility

I'm done, I'm through There is no need to
Try and be perfect
Cause I never will be
I'll make you see
I'm not just your venter
I'm not your punching bag
I wont be your toy
I'm done

Just because I mess up
Every once in a while
Doesn't mean everything is my fault
I don't care if it's "your style"

Look over my way
And you'd better say
The words "sorry"
Before I give you acts of respect

I'd better be your top notch girl
You'd better treat me
like I mean something,
Something but a prize

If I'm not close enough to
better then the rest of the girls
on the world
Then I'm done!

Proud
Amber Ily Lee Sep 2010
I was stubborn I was stupid
And you should be listenin' too
All the things i left unsaid and
You lied and I was branded
When I got rid of you that one day
All I could say...
Was

"I'm so proud!"
I can't believe I made it through it!
Bye-bye went the cloud
It ran away to sunshine.
The lightning, the thunder
Went away when you plundered
When you fell!
And I'm so proud!

The Show
Amber Ily Lee Jul 2010
Looking in the mirror
And what do I see?
A girl in with tears on her cheeks
Seeing blood on her wrists
And a streak though her heart
She says "**** me, **** me! Put me out of my pain!"

When she's around family, friends or on the phone
She puts on the show
Whoa the show
She stands their smiling
Tears building up inside
What's happening inside her mind?
Oh!
It's the show!

She has a problem... She fears the world
Yeah she's friendly
Yea She's nice
But take my advice...
Don't upset her
Don't make her mad!
But it's just that...

I put on mascara, heavy eyeliner too
Blush, cover up, eyeshadow, lip gloss too!
But I shouldn't some days!
Cause it washes away,
Through my tears.

When I'm with ones who don't know me at all
I but on the Show
And try not to bawl!

Why
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2010
Why
Why does love
Have to hurt so much
Why can't it just be easy
If only he could see
It's hurting me

I'm nervous to be
Around you at all
But why does love
have to pain me this much
Why can't love be easy?

Maybe if I show you
Exactly how it feels
You'll gimme a try
And be careful to seal
The deal
And make me happy
But maybe
You probly won't

My heart is on my sleeve
With my tears filling it up
Look around and look at me
I can't just **** it up
Please give a hug
That's the least I want
for all my sorrow

Did It Have To Be You
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2010
Hey,
I keep thinkin bout your face
I wish you woulda just been away
Took medicine, Therapy
Anything, but just leave us alone
Leave me alone
Momma, step Daddy
and both brothers too!

Did it have to be you!?
Did it really have to be this way
Make my prayers come true
Make sure, that he's extra far away!

Please control yourself
And stop sending people
Don't go to the school
You need to learn the rules
So back off but,
Did it have to be you?

I mean now I couldn't care any less
But  I am just wonderin'!
Why did you have to be a pest?
I don't wanna ever see your face again
I'm gonna run too my friend
Cry on their shoulder askin' what to do

Don't think of me
Forget my name
I have a contract
So stay away
From me!
But does it hurt to ask
What to do too

But did it have to be you!?
Did it really have to be this way
Make my prayers come true
Make sure, that he's extra far away!

You need to learn the rules
Did it have to be you?

I Wanna Be Cindy
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2010
I wish I had a ball gown
So I could go to the ball
But loose a slipper after all
3 little mice friends
Make a dress for me
You can see
This is not me!

I wanna be Cindy
Good ol' blonde Cinderella
Hunny maybe kiss me
Let me know you love me

Hug me take my hand
Let's dance
Salsa? No!
Techno? No!
Let's slow dance
Let me put my head
On your shoulder to rest
I wanna be, Cindy!

Maybe if I wish
On the star in the night sky
You'll say, "I'm your guy
Forever and ever."
But I doubt that wish will,
Come true!

Oh, you're lookin' fine over there
With your black hair
Eyes sparkely blue
Oh how I love you!

~I wanna be Cindy
Good ol' blonde Cinderella
Hunny maybe kiss me
Let me know you love me
Hug me take my hand
Let's dance
I wanna be Cinderella!

Parents and Kids
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2010
Parents teach us alot of stuff,
Like walking, talking, and being tough,
Just because us sons and daughtors age,
We still love them and they do us.

Soon we're 11 or a little more,
We're caring we care until we're sore,
Now you take us out to buy us things,
We think we really need,
Then I hug and kiss you,
We did a real good deed.

Teenage years come up next,
We eat,sleep yell, n text,
But buy more things for us to save,
And you have the love I always gave,


I met "The One" he pulls out a ring,
I'm happy oh joy,I scream and scream.
The day begins it's time to marry,
At the end of the day I'll be carried.
Taken to the house,
He didn't tell me he bought,
So many tears of joy,
From my parents I got.
Then soon I have a child or two to tuck in,
The parents and kids story will re-begin

I Try
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2010
I try and I try and I know I'm not perfect
I know I need some work
So stop don't **** it
Cause I'm being teared apart!
Tears streaking down my face
Trying to get memories out past this place
Ripping up songs and poems I wrote about you
And you skin me down
'Till nothing's no more
No skin left
All blood and
It's gushing
Out fast!!!
But you know...
At least I try to succeed!

Last String
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2010
First he wont stop hurting me
Then they don't believe me
And lie to my face sayin' they do

I know them, I know you!
You just don't wanna let me go
She told me the whole **** thing!
I'm on my last string

Now I walk home, and text
It's from her, my best friend
She texts me sayin' "u ok?"
Then she made an irritated face
Goin: colon, rightslash
She don't know what to believe

They broke my last string
And I was singing
a little Taylor Swift
Then I just sat down on that metal bar, on my home
Three boys 2 or so years older then me
Said "Why you cryin'" and I just hadda show them me
I said they broke my last string!

So I was talkin' to them
They said they'd take care of him
Gave hugs and then stopped cryin'
I thought they we're my friends

After the hugs and after the scarce
I said something and yeah I dared
To say "What the hell do you want"
When his ring tone came on
He was calling me

But he, but she, broke my last string
I called my best friend
She's the only one who believed me at all!
And she tried everything she could to get me to smile
But I cried more and for a while
And nothing could unbreak me
And they broke my last string!

That Moment
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2010
It all started when you waved hi
So i waved back with a smile
I said "Can you sit by me, please?"
You said "Yeah." and I smiled like a fool, Jeez!
You are stuck in my head!

Passed you a note
Saying "I still like you, you know..."
You nodded your head with a smirk
And we had a conversation so interesting and worked
On me not constantly, Smiling!

And that moment,
I hugged you from behind
I almost lost my mind!
Because you're a cutie
And you could sue me
For loving you
As much as, I do!
Oh, That moment!

I tried to watch the movie
But I couldn't focus
You were in my mind but
I'm loving you so hard!
Like a rocky shard
Like a heartfelt song
Like something that can't go wrong


Like that moment,
You tickled me so much
I couldn't help but blush
We passed notes for a while
Every bit makes me smile....

It all started when you waved hi.

Too Far
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2010
You're my knight in shining armor
And I couldn't be any dumber
Cause I couldn't see it before

When you walked through my life door
But now that we're apart
I think it's time to start
To think of ways to,
see you!

Because you're too far
Away from me
Please just understand my plead!

No matter how much closer you are
You're, too far away from me!
I love you so
And please know
That I can't stop the feelin'!
And you are, too far!


Because you're too far
Away from me
Please just understand my plead!
No matter how much closer you are
You're, too far away from me!
I can't stop the feelin'!
And you are, too far!

Breakin Free
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2010
Sittin', waitin' on the phone
Feelin like a rusty drone
Try'na hode my feelin's back
go up and start to stack
Stack up the courage
To do what I wanna do
Talkin', ot's me and you!

I'm breakin' free
Outta my shell
Doin' that rebel yell
Maybe you can see
I'm more than I appear to be
Wait and watch
For the spot light
Get out of sight
Cause I'm breakin' free!

I'm done pretendin'
I'm done hidin'
I don't care what you think
I'll do as I please!
I'll do what i love

I'm breakin' free
Outta my shell
Doin' that rebel yell
Maybe you can see
I'm more than I appear to be.

I Love You
Amber Ily Lee Jun 2010
Your brown eyes burn me
make me hypnotized
Brown layered hair...

You're always by my side
I've known you
Probably since birth
And you're a special girl, too.

I don't care what anyone says
I love to snuggle and cuddle with you
I love it more then dark chocolate
And more then People think I do.

No matter what happens....
Through Thick and Thin
I love you

— The End —
